excercise smecercise.

i consider myself to be a relatively healthy person. lets start off with that.

i eat relatively well (aside from midnight snacks...).

i walk approximately 10 miles a day.

and i drink a shit ton of water.

however; when it comes to excercise, i lack in that department.
i only run when if im being chased.
i smoke alot of cigarettes, and drink alot of coffee.

im not very graceful sometimes. (like last night when i fell in the snow. it was a bummer. funny, but a bummer)

none of this stopped me from signing up for a "walking and jogging" class for 1 credit this semester though.

the trainer that runs the course claimed to have us running 3 miles by the end of the first 9 weeks... i laughed in his face.

im not laughing any more. in fact, im pretty sure he was being serious.

today in class, we played with stability balls though! however much fun they are, they still require a certain amount of balance. i do not have this balance.

most people in the class looked like this today:

i looked more along the lines of this:

haha get that picture in your head.

i also have no tennis shoes, only red converse high tops.. so when my feet went up over my head, it was almost as if i was waving a flag proudly, bridging the gap between dirty hippies and sweaty jocks. jesus, i should get Ambassador of the Year.

all of this excercise has just made me realize that i have toothpick arms, no muscle, and really no desire to do anything about it. i think i'll skip the bodybuilder/superhealthnut/gymshoes way of life, and stick to knitting.

speaking of knitting, i just turned the heel of my Charade socks (in berroco comfort dk, light blue)

im getting ready to start a pair of mittens for myself, because its unworldly cold here. im going to knit the Give a Hoot mittens (in Wendy's peter pan, tan, poet, didnt know it.) with a few modifications that im not sure of yet, but i'll let ya know when i do it!

and also, yesterday, i bought a skein of Trekking pro natura in a heathered green to make the Gentleman's Shooting Stockings for a good friend (super-intellegent gent, who is gradutating in May, and should go into the real world with a good pair of socks on his feet).

so that is the current line up for my knitting projects, and i'll post pictures and updates as i go, of course.

Edit to mention: i got a truckload of sweet ass iron on transfers from VeganCraftastic and im going to be super homey and embroider on a bunch of stuff for my new apartment(!) (coming in may!), so when i get started on that, i'll post pictures of that as well!

I hope you all have a fabulous Wednesday

peace
